Day in and day out you hear a lot from the IGN Nintendo team. Now we want to hear from you. What you'll find below is our weekly blogging feature. Here we ask you questions based on recent Nintendo events or games and ask you to blog your thoughts. The best responses will be featured later in the week, and may even win a cool prize. Read on for all the information on this week's blogging challenge!

E3 is sneaking up on us gamers like some sort of sneaky ninja. Are you folks getting excited? Well, while you await all the glorious gaming tidbits the show will no doubt supply, take a moment to check out IGN Nintendo's new Question of the Week. You know the drill - I'm going to ask you a question, then you're going to put all your blatantly cool opinions into an awe-inspiring blog. Afterward, I want you to share the link on the IGN blog post I created just for this occasion. Later this week, I'm going to choose a selection of the best entries to promote directly on the 3DS and/or Wii U page, as well as choose our Blogger of the Week (who, in turn, wins a cool prize).

Got all that? Great, then on to the question!

This week we're talking third party games. And to help guide your blogging endeavors, here are the specific points I'd like your blog to address:

Which of all the forthcoming third party games are you most excited for? It doesn't matter if it's console or handheld, or whether it's been confirmed for a Nintendo system or not. Resident Evil 6? Darksiders II? Far Cry 3? Something else?! Do tell!

Why is this the game that has you most excited? Be specific - convince us why this game is the one we should all be looking out for.

What would be your ideal platform for this game? Are you most excited for RE6 but want to play it on Wii U? Most excited for Kingdom Hearts 3D but wish it were coming to a home console? Let us know!

There you have it - just remember to make your submissions no later than Wednesday, May 16 at Noon PST. As mentioned, the best of the best will be promoted on the IGN Wii and/or 3DS page. Among the blog posts chosen for promotion, Rich and I will be singling ONE out as our Blog of the Week. The chosen blogger will win a download code for one (1) free eShop game. The winner will be able to choose between Pushmo, Mighty Switch Force, and Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword.

If you're chosen, someone from IGN will contact you through e-mail (and your IGN wall), so keep an eye out, and be ready to respond! (And please don't ask us if you've won - if you did, we'll be in touch.) Unfortunately, it seems these codes only work for U.S. 3DS systems, so at least for now only stateside gamers are eligible to win the download code. You can still participate if you live outside the U.S., and can still be chosen as our Blogger of the Week and have your post promoted on IGN, but we won't be able to throw a free code your way.

That all sound good? All that's left is to vote in the poll below, start blogging, and check back later this week for the results. I look forward to reading your entries!

Done blogging? Leave your link here. In a few days we're going to highlight the best IGN's community has to offer - show us your moves, Koopalings!
